On the back of this truck is the stake driver, one of the most important tools a circus can have. This invention saves time, money and man power. There are two types of stakes used for the tent… steel and wooden.  Steel is for hard ground and wood for mud or soft ground. The guy ropes from the tent are tied to the stakes with what is called a storm hitch.
