I pull them from about 300 feet when I work on them, just do not drop the pipe or the fishing job will cost one plenty,
I like pipe elevators, I use two of them as they work as a safety just in case the pipe would slip a bit, or the dog clamps on a section of ovaled pipe, it has been some time but I usually back it down to just a few inches between the dog and the elevator clamp.

there are other places to buy this stuff, but I posted the Dean Benite site for example and my experience with them in the past has been good,

is there a reason you're replacing the galvanized pipe? many times all that is rough is the drop pipe that is in the water column, and many times that can be swapped with some of the top pipe or replace the bad sections, the well pipe I have dealt with is in either 18 foot or 21 foot sections,
if you do pull it your self, when the wire comes out lay it out in a nice zig zag so it will not catch on things and in such a way if you would lose the drop pipe you will not get entangled in it as it sucked back into the well,
If your replacing pipe pump and wire and new safety cable,
your pump (if 19 gallon a min) is in the $700 to a $1000 control box another $200
new wire, depending on length and distance form power, $2 to $3 a foot you close to 500 feet, $1000 to $1500,
# 80 pvc pipe $3 to $3.70 a foot, another $1500
quick costs
pump @$1000 to 1200
wire @ $1000 to 1500
pipe @ 1500 to 1800
my guess cable $200
so my guess is using dean bennetts prices, $3700 to $4500 in raw parts, and may be another thousand on tools. you will need some good 24" pipe wrenches, may need 36" depending on how long it been down and how old it is, and what type of dope was used, you will need two wrenches of the size selected, (elevators, about $300, pipe dog about $400, wrenches about 80 to 100 each, (and even tho it works the "Ranches pipe dog" is not that great, and so the pipe lifter, it works but I do not like them had to use and not that secure IMO). Ridgid pipe wrenches off Ebay most likely OK doubt if you will find the dogs or the elevators used on ebay and if you do not know if it is all in good working and complete I would buy new for the well, not a place to take a chance.
I know 25 years ago it was costing me over $1000 to have a new pump put down and new wire, and they alway come up with more, but last time about 25 years ago it came to over $1200, I am sure if no pipe was replaced it would be cost me $2500 to day,
call the dean bennett supply and talk to them what they would suggest to you,
you may have to get some more info pump HP and well production, current wire size, and so on,
most like you will need to have at least 25 feet of lift, to pull it out and I would sugest 30' so manage the pipes as they come out,
my two cents,
