In this case, a barrel pump or 'vacuuum-start siphon' are both

That's my story and I'm stick'n to it.


Even simpler is to put a tap in the small bung, tip the drum on its
side on some blocks to raise it above ground level so a bucket will
fit under the tap. You may have to crack the large bung to allow air
into the drum. Did it all the time at work.


Yup!

A barrel cart would make that easy.
