Resurecting a 20ft old barn well

[Ramon]

I have a well in my barn that I wanted to use for irrigation and the animals. What kind of equipment would I need to get it going. It definitely has water in it as I dropped a bucket on a string in it and pulled some up. There is some old equipment at the top of the well but when I plugged it in, it just made some humming noises so I if it's easier, I would rather just plug and play if it's just a matter of dropping in a pump and hooking it to a garden hose (my ideal scenario for my non handy person). I only have a 110 V outlet above the well but then again, it's only 20 feet deep. Any suggestions?
Thanks

For filling a stock tank go to the home depot and look at sump pumps, or jet pumps. Is the water level 20 feet down or is that the bottom of the well. To irrigate with it, I would go for a 110 volt submersible well pump and an expansion tank.

Might want to do a test with it to see what kind of production it has.

You need a self contained jet pump similar to this. You can buy this one at Home depot Sears has a unit also tht might be a little cheaper link
