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.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
