Abstract: A ground rod driver that uses an industry standard connecting plate to physically attach the driver to Skid Steer type equipment. The driver has a hydraulic, impact driving hammer connected to an alignment beam that enables vertical movement of the hammer. Operation of the driving hammer, as well as up and down motion of the driving hammer is derived from the accessory hydraulic system and connections of the Skid Steer. Simple operating control valves, flow control valve and hydraulic hoses, and an operating station are mounted directly to the driver.
