I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tractor' is the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pusher that I've seen before include "A seller of drugs on the streets" , "Street seller of illegal drugs" , "Criminal who sells illegal drugs" , "See 20" .)
