(quoted from post at 05:21:01 04/22/12) How the heck could you have 80 gallons of water in a 200 foot well pipe? In my area of New York, a 200 foot well is going to have 1" ID pipe. That holds water at a rate of one gallon for every 25 feet. A 200 well - even if water is all the way to the top (over-flowing-Artesian) is only going to have 8 gallons of water in it.
I'm not a big guy and I've pulled many wells up to 230 feet - myself. No help and it was no big deal. You're talking a max weight of 90-100 lbs. but many are lighter. A typical 170 foot well with water 3/4s up the pip and 3/4 horse pump weighs 75 lbs. Gets lighter as you pull.
In regard to losing it? Come on! The pipe you thread into the pitless to pull it all should have a T handle welded on. It can't fit into a 6" well casing and cannot be lost.
