German term

Anhänge- und Aufsattel- Sprühgeräte

German to English Tech/Engineering Agriculture Crop Protection Equipment
"Die hervorragende Qualität der neuen Anhänge- und Aufsattel- Sprühgeräte von ABC-D ist das Ergebnis von über 60 Jahren Erfahrung, dem Einsatz modernster Technologien, sowie der Verwendung hochwertiger Materialien und einer strengen Qualitätskontrolle während des Fertigungsprozess."

To do with a company that makes crop protection equipment (at least, that's what I believe "Pflanzenschutzgeräte" to be). I'm happy enough with "sprayers" for "Sprühgeräte"; it's the "Anhänge" and "Aufsattel" bits that have me all at sea. "Saddle sprayer" gets a few reasonable hits, so that could be an Aufsattelsprühgerät, but otherwise, I have no idea at all. TIA for any enlightenment you can provide.

Tractor-mounted sprayers? I'm wondering about this as a possibility for "Anhängesprühgeräte". "Tractor-mounted sprayers" gets a LOT of hits, and I just got a reference file that includes the term "Anhängesprühgeräte" in relation to hitching them up with tractors. There's even a heading that says "Anhängen des Sprühgerätes an den Traktor".
Rowan Morrell (asker) Aug 7, 2010:
Semi-mounted sprayer Don't know how I missed this before, but there's actually been another KudoZ query on Aufsattel-Sprühgeräte, and the answer to that was "semi-mounted sprayer":

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/agriculture/1252...

So that just leaves the Anhänge-Sprühgeräte. Could they possibly be drawbar-mounted sprayers? Not too many hits for "drawbar sprayers" as such.

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I'm happy enough with "semi-mounted sprayers" (although I also belatedly found "semi-mounted atomiser" for "Aufsattelsprühgerät" in IATE). However, "drawbar sprayers" don't get any hits apart from the site you mentioned, and based on further research of my own (plus a reference file from the client), I'm aboit 90% sure that "Anhängersprühgerät" is simply "tractor-mounted sprayer". But many thanks for your answer, and I still appreciate your assistance."
