My domestic well is 185 feet, static at 85. Neighbors are at 300 and 600. I got lucky with the price of $65/ft...

Should have no problem at at with your mill pulling water from there. Not sure of what the specs would be for cylinder size, etc. We don't have that size of mill around here, aqltho we do have wells that deep. There are 8 ft mills on those wells. But only with static at that depth. that would give us 20 ft or so below static to place the cylinder. If the well is decent, there should be no drawdown for us using this setup. You may be able to utilize a larger cylinder if your casing will allow it, with the cylinder set deeper.
