Real-World Success Case: Portugal Family Farm
Client Background and Challenges Faced： A family farm owner in southern Portugal needed a reliable water solution for his 4.8-hectare organic grape farm, domestic use and part-time drilling services for neighboring farms. During the 2023 dry season, his 20-year-old hand-dug well produced less than 1 cubic meter of water per day, causing 30% of his grape vines to suffer from severe water stress. Local drilling companies quoted prices 3 times higher than his budget and could not start work for 3 months, which would have meant losing his entire grape harvest. Worse still, all large rigs could not access his farm via the 3-meter-wide rural dirt road lined with mature grape vines.
YG’s Solution： YG recommended the YG-240-22P portable borehole drilling machine. Its compact 1450×1550×1970mm footprint fit perfectly on his existing pickup truck and passes through the narrow road without any modification or crop removal. The 22HP diesel engine easily penetrated the 18-meter-thick weathered rock layer on his property, and the fully automatic screw thread rod change system allowed him to operate the rig with only his wife’s help, no professional workers required.
Customer Feedback and Reviews： The client completed a 120m deep well in just 5 days, which now produces 12 cubic meters of clean water daily—more than enough for his grape irrigation, household needs and 120 free-range chickens. He has since drilled 3 additional wells for neighboring farmers, recovering 40% of his initial investment in just 2 months. He stated, “This equipment perfectly solved all my problems. It’s easy to operate and stable in performance. I’ve already recommended it to 5 other farm owners in the region.”
