Rural properties, farms, and smallholdings across England often struggle with water access when mains supply is unavailable or expensive to connect. Groundwater offers a reliable alternative, but large drilling rigs cannot reach narrow gateways, steep fields, or confined yards. Traditional well drilling contractors charge high mobilization fees for small jobs. Many English landowners need a compact drilling solution that fits in a standard trailer, handles various soil conditions, and costs a fraction of full-size equipment. YG Machinery’s mini well drilling rig solves these problems with portable units that drill to 100 meters. The YG180 to YG280 models offer hole diameters from 80 to 350mm and weights from 120 to 250KG.

Case Study One: England – Farm Borehole Drilling
Client Background
A livestock farm in Devon needed a reliable water supply for cattle watering and irrigation. The farm’s existing well produced only 2,000 liters per day, insufficient for summer demand. The property sits on clay and sandstone with no mains water connection.
Client Challenge
The farm needed to drill a new borehole to 80 meters depth. Access to the drilling site was limited to a narrow farm track unsuitable for truck-mounted rigs. The farmer wanted to avoid contractor mobilization fees and high daily rates. Local drilling contractors quoted 6-month wait times.
YG Solution
YG supplied the YG240 mini well drilling rig with 4kw power and 100M drilling depth. The 80-220mm hole diameter matches the farm’s borehole specification. The 150KG weight and 0.7*0.7*2.5m dimensions allow transport on a small trailer. The 51mm drill rods and 2.2kw mud pump handle Devon’s clay and sandstone layers. YG provided operation training and a spare parts kit.
Client Feedback and Results
“The YG240 drilled our new borehole in 3 days. We now have 8,000 liters per day for the cattle and irrigation. The machine fits through our narrow gate easily.” The farmer confirmed the mini well drilling rig paid for itself compared to contractor quotes.

Case Study Two: Spain – Rural Property Water Supply
Client Background
A Spanish homeowner in Andalusia needed a water supply for a rural property. The land sits on fractured limestone with groundwater at approximately 70 meters depth. The nearest mains connection was 2 kilometers away.
Client Challenge
The homeowner needed a portable borewell machine that could drill through limestone without contractor support. The property had no three-phase power, requiring 220V operation. Local equipment rental options were limited and expensive. The homeowner wanted to complete the project without hiring a drilling crew.
YG Solution
YG recommended the YG180 mini well drilling rig with 1.5-2kw power and 80M drilling depth. The 220V voltage operates from the property’s single-phase supply or a generator. The 42mm drill rods handle the fractured limestone. The 120KG weight allows two people to move the unit across rough terrain. The 80-200mm hole diameter suits domestic water well requirements.
Client Feedback and Results
“The YG180 drilled our well in 5 days working part-time. We hit good water at 65 meters. The machine ran perfectly on our generator.” The homeowner confirmed the mini well drilling rig saved over 60% compared to hiring a drilling contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum drilling depth of the mini well drilling rig?
The YG180 reaches 80 meters. The YG240 and YG280 reach 100 meters. Actual depth depends on soil hardness and groundwater conditions.
Q: Can the mini well drilling rig drill through rock?
Yes. The rig can handle hard rock formations when equipped with appropriate drill bits. The mud pump system circulates water to cool the bit and remove cuttings during rock drilling.
Q: What power sources are available for the portable borewell machine?
YG offers 220V single-phase and 380V three-phase options. The YG180 and YG240 use 220V. The YG280 uses 380V. All models can operate from a generator.
Q: How long does it take to drill a typical well?
In ordinary soil, the mini well drilling rig progresses at approximately 10 meters per hour. Drilling speed decreases in hard rock formations. A 70-meter well typically takes 2-4 days.
Q: Is operator training required for the mini well drilling rig?
The machine comes fully assembled and tested. Operators can learn basic functions in 2-3 days. YG provides operation videos and online technical support for ongoing assistance.
