Round ten, key skills yield conveyances (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oxcarts

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

'conveyances' is the definition.
(oxcart is a kind of conveyance)

'round ten key skills' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'ten' becomes 'x' (roman numeral).
'key skills' becomes 'carts' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'x'+'carts'='OXCARTS'

'yield' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
