Drilled a new well 4 years ago here, western side of Manitoba Canada, 50 degrees north, frost makes it to 4ft almost every year, and i have had lines freeze at 8ft where there is traffic over them (they are now at 12ft deep, so far so good)...
Anyway, new well (4inch) has a static level above ground(about 12 inches above surface) when not pumping (and has been pumped at 60 gallons per minute when we first drilled it), anyway, ours has a cap with the pipe and pump power cables coming out the top of the well casing, cap is sealed with a big rubber and steel plug, pipe for water then goes back into the ground next to the casing and the to the house. The pipe has a heat tape in it to keep it from freezing and one day will be in a small well shed, but currently is covered by small square bales and a tarp (which works very well but doesn't look that great).
Many others have pitless adaptors about 8 ft down for the pipe to connect to, they do go bad once in a while, but well casing still comes out the top of the ground, no one makes a pit for a well anymore here (not even sure its legal)... our old cattle yard still has a pit well with a drilled casing in it.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
