I use super stakes on all my land traps now a days. But the stakes have a fairly large diameter profile and in hard ground it seemed like it took a bit to drive them in. I have used a Milwaukee M 18 drill hammer and a long wood bit to drill a pilot hole which certainly makes it much easier to get the super stake in hard or frozen dirt. The last couple years I have been making my own super stakes out of 1/4th inch black standard pipe. I make them a little longer than regular super stakes. They sure do drive in way easier than their big fat brother. And they pull just as hard in dry packed dirt. Maybe in soft wet dirt they might not have the same holding power..... but I just drive them in deeper. I pull all my stakes with a handy man jack and just this year I made a super puller , much lighter.

pre-drill hole for cabled wolf-fangs--- easy--- then cut to pull trap-- saves alot of wear on your person--- I would rather be setting and catching than jacking out an anchor or stake
