How Miguel Secured His Farm’s Future with a Mini Water Well Drilling Machine in Portugal
Miguel Ferreira, a vineyard owner in Portugal’s picturesque Douro Valley, had a problem. His 3-hectare vineyard, famous for producing rich, full-bodied wines, was struggling due to inconsistent rainfall. The scorching summers were drying up the soil, and his reliance on municipal water was too expensive and unreliable. If he didn’t find a solution soon, his vineyard’s production would take a major hit.
The Search for an Affordable Water Solution
Determined to secure a sustainable water source, Miguel began researching ways to drill his own well. Hiring a commercial drilling service was far beyond his budget, and he needed a machine that was compact, efficient, and easy to operate—something designed for small farms. That’s when he came across YG’s Mini Water Well Drilling Machine.
- Compact & Portable: Perfect for navigating his sloped vineyard.
- Drilling Depth of 80 Meters: Enough to tap into underground water reserves.
- Diesel-Powered & Low Maintenance: No reliance on electricity, ideal for remote areas.
After consulting with the YG team, Miguel placed his order. Within a few weeks, the machine arrived in Portugal, and with some help from his workers, he was ready to drill.
