Something you might want to try, also cheap, is a drill powered syphon.
I bought one at Lowes for under $10. It's just a little device that
hooks up to the drill and has connections for a hose on both sides. I
stole the connector hoses (relatively short) that run from my hose reels
to the spigot for use on either side. It worked great.

The pump was in the sump pump area at Lowes. I didn't even know about
them until I described what I wanted to do and what I optimally wanted
to spend and the guy told me had the perfect thing for me and grabbed
the box off the shelf. He was right.
