'field vehicle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'garbage truck reversed' is the wordplay.
'garbage' becomes 'rot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'truck' becomes 'cart' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'reversed' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'rot'+'cart'='rotcart'
'rotcart' in reverse letter order is 'TRACTOR'.

'into' is the link.
