Power companies generally use copper rods, and usually more than one to
ground mini-pad mounted 12470 volt transformers. To remove unwanted ground
rods, it is generally much simpler to dig down several inches right around
the old rod, and cut it off below grade with a cutting torch or hacksaw. If
you really need to remove it, large slide hammers can do the trick, or you
can tighten a large C-clamp to the rod and put a small bottle jack under the
clamp. Obviously, some creativity is needed.

How do you get a ground rod out of the ground?
What kind does the power company use?
