Thanks for the suggestions.I am dealing with Oklahoma red clay...absolutely awful....I have a few more to install and definitely can't continue with the sledgehammer route. TimWa5yom

Agree that bigger is quicker. I've used three different sized rotary hammers into clay soil with about 45 min for the smallest hammer to 5-7 min for the largest. Largest size might be available for rent locally and will be a definite time-saver.

SDS hammer drill with the ground rod bit. Either Plus or Max version of the drill will work. 

After I got an SDS-Plus, the time for installing ground rods went from an appreciable portion
of an hour to just a few minutes.
