Comment: "Thanks! Sucador must be a misprint for surcador - but it looked like a plausible word that had something to do with sugar."
Discussion
I think so too. According to the DRAE, the verb surcar (= to plough, to make furrows) comes from sulcar so maybe it's just that some dialects have other forms.
