What the farmer has as an alternative to land (7)
I believe the answer is:
tractor
'what the farmer has as' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'alternative to land' is the wordplay.
'alternative' becomes 'or'.
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'land' becomes 'tract' (tract can mean an area of land).
'or' after 'tract' is 'TRACTOR'.
'an' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tractor that I've seen before include "Vehicle used on farms" , "Type of truck with a a cab but no body" , "Agricultural vehicle" , "Farming vehicle" , "Tower" .)
