I'm afraid it didn't say - this was extra text that was sent after I'd finished the document. I do get the impression, since they've talked about tractor-mounted sprayers a few times in a table, that they would probably be referring to the same here, but I can't say for sure.

Looking at the L&H Danish dictionary, sugespids (if that's comparable) is 'suction point' - don't know if that helps.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Oliver Dirs : This could be correct, particularly if we're talking about hand-pumped crop sprayers; not so sure if we're talking about tractor-mounted "boom" sprayers. Helen, any idea which it is? In my answer to "preparatsluss" I assumed it was for the latter.
