Can't you use a hose with a shut-off instead of hauling? We have a very shallow well, too. I can't lift a full watering can, so I only carry water to the plants on the porch, but there's no danger in burning out the well pump with limited watering otherwise. I often use a slow drip in the landscape. It's continuous high volume watering that will burn out a pump. And usually only then if your pressure tank isn't working properly.

Since we are on a well, I can only haul water in buckets - don't
dare use a hose for fear of burning out the well pump. Since my
back isn't what it once was, I can only haul so many buckets, so
I mainly water the container-garden in my breezeway and on the
front stoop. Everything else just parches.
