At the bottom of my rather large garden is a large natural pond. As with
much of the country we have not had rain here for some time. My water
butts are depleting rapidly so I am carting buckets of water up the
garden from the pond. Like most natural ponds it is rather mucky, I
wondered if there is a good pump that will deal with the muck, not
requiring constant clearing of the filter. Any suggestions please? as
an alternative a yoke for 2 buckets would be useful, but I cannot find a
source, so any help there would also be appreciated.

Use a floating pickup filter. Picks water from the surface not the muddy
depths.
