CS - do you have power out there?
We have used tractor tires with risers in cement centres for years and in our experience they are far better than the commercial waterers.
If you have power, just throw a good sump or regular well pump down the hole.
If you are looking at solar or wind try the lorentz pumps (they sell them at Battleford).
We are looking at playing around with solar heat collectors that can be built or bought cheap to keep at least some heat in the water and potentially to heat the concrete pad and trough centre. I know a guy that heats his 3 car garage with 2 of these units and it never gets below -5.
