A family‑owned farm in a certain location in Poland was struggling with water shortages during the summer growing season. The municipal supply was unreliable and expensive for large‑scale crop irrigation. The farm owner had considered drilling a well, but the cost of hiring a commercial drilling company was prohibitive, and the nearest contractor was over 100km away. He needed a compact, easy‑to‑use drilling solution that his own workers could operate.
After researching online, he discovered YG’s small water well drilling rig. He wanted a portable water drilling machine that could reach depths of at least 150m and handle different soil conditions. YG recommended the YG‑240‑22P model.
Technical Parameters Of The Small Water Well Drilling Rig
YG offers two models of the machine. Based on the customer’s depth requirement (150- 200 m) and soil type (sandy loam with gravel layers), YG selected the YG‑240‑22P. Below are key specifications:
| Model | YG-240-22P | YG-240-30P |
| Dimension | 1450*1550*1970mm | 2000*1230*2090mm |
| Weight | 200kg | 200kg |
| Drill rod diameter | 42mm | 51mm |
| Drill rod length | 1.5m/unit | 1.5m/unit |
| Rod change method | Full automatic screw thread | Full automatic screw thread |
| Max drilling depth | 200m | 200m |
| Diesel engine power | 22HP | 30HP |
| Drilling hole diameter | Within 280mm | 100mm-240mm |
| Lifting height | 2.5m | Max 2.5m |
| Lifting force | 1000kg | 2000kg |
The YG‑240‑22P machine weighs only 200kg and measures 1450×1550×1970mm. This portable water drilling machine features fully automatic screw thread rod changes, eliminating manual connections.
How Did This Portable Water Drilling Machine Performed On The Farm?
The Polish farm received the machine along with a starter set of drill rods. The first drilling attempt was on a dry section of the field. Results were impressive:
- Drilling speed: The small water well drilling rig advanced at approximately 2m per hour through sandy loam. The 22HP diesel engine provided steady torque.
- Depth achievement: The team reached 180m in just five working days, striking a productive water layer.
- Ease of operation: Two workers handled the machine comfortably. The automatic rod change system saved significant labor.
The drilling rig also performed well when hitting a gravel layer at 120m. The operator adjusted the rotation speed, and the rig continued without damage.


Customization For Polish Climate Conditions
YG engineers considered Poland’s cold winters and the potential for frozen ground. Customizations included:
- Cold‑start diesel engine with glow plugs for reliable starting at temperatures down to ‑15°C.
- Winter‑grade hydraulic oil to maintain fluidity in low temperatures.
- Insulated control panel to protect electronics from moisture and frost.
- Protective covers for the drill rods to prevent rust during storage.
For the small water well drilling rig, YG also provided Polish‑language decals and a translated operation manual. The portable water drilling machine was shipped with extra filters and a full set of seals for maintenance.
Tangible Results After Using The Small Water Well Drilling Rig
After the well was completed and the pump installed, the Polish farm recorded measurable gains:
- Irrigation cost dropped by 70% compared to purchasing municipal water.
- Crop yield increased by 30% due to reliable water access during the dry season.
- Labor cost for drilling was minimal – the machine required only two operators for five days.
- The payback period for the entire drilling operation was just four months.
The portable water drilling machine has since been used to drill two more wells on neighboring properties. The farm owner now offers drilling services to other local farmers, creating an additional income stream.


Smooth Cooperation And Final Conversion
YG provided drilling technique videos and soil analysis guidelines. Sea freight was arranged from China to Gdańsk port of Gdańsk, then trucked to the farm. Remote support via WhatsApp guided the first assembly and start‑up. The drilling rig came with a one‑year warranty and a free starter set of drill bits.
