Well he looks like he's having fun but I wouldn't like to have to use that size jack hammer 8 feet in the air though.

Can't be any worse than wielding a sledge hammer 8 foot or more in the air!! lol!!

At least with the jack hammer, it's being supported to some degree by the rod it's driving in. And with a tool like that, you'll not be 8 foot in the air for long at all!! lol!!!

I've got a fence post driver for the back of the tractor? Never tried it on a rod yet but if it pushes a 12" gate post into Welsh slate soil it should manage a rod! Not sure what customers would think of it though.....?

Probably end up with bent and buckled rod's using that!! lol!! Mind, you may be alright if using 3/4'' earth rods!!

That conjures up a great image of you turning up to do a TT rewire in a tractor
