Go off with a tank and yellow digger (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotavator

'digger' is the definition.
(machine for digging into or breaking up soil)

'go off with a tank and yellow' is the wordplay.
'go off' becomes 'rot' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'tank' becomes 'vat' (I've seen this before).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'yellow' becomes 'or' (heraldic term).
'rot'+'a'+'vat'+'or'='ROTAVATOR'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
