Shallow well pumps

I've got a project going right now, and it involves mixing concrete at a site where there's no running water or electricity at the moment.
A buddy loaned me a small pump (1/3 hp), and, I have an electric mixer, along with a portable generator, that will run both.
My question is, will the pump develop enough suction to draw water out of a tank (pond)? The pump runs fine, but I can't tell there's much suction at either port. Does it have to be primed?
My buddy said he used it to pump water from his tank a couple of years ago, but couldn't remember the set-up.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The max any pump will lift ar sea level is about 32' and eficiency will be just above 0%. A centrifical pump is rapidly loosing efficiency if lifting more than 15' and 20 is about max. A foot valve will be needed hold prime. If the pump is placed at the supply end and only has to lift a foot or two or is submersable. Then a typical simple single stage centrifical pump can easly push 65' to 130' up (30 to 60psi).
