1 December 2017: Hayton, East Yorkshire, UK. Farmer Andrew Wilkinson (32) and his partner Emma Lycett (26) (correct) pictured this evening with his Christmas tractor in the drive of their home in the village of Hayton, East Yorkshire. He has dedicated it to his late father and hopes to raise money for Cancer Research UK. The to scale model tractor is based on the John Deere 6820 Tractor that Andrew drives. It took him four months to build the metal frame and eight full days of wiring the 11,000 LED lights. The wiring is two mile long and includes 8,00 tie wraps. Andrew said: "I had the tractor in my garden last Christmas and raised over £3,000. This year I have added the plough, front weight and the Union Jack. It is 11 years ago that my dad David, also a farmer, died of cancer, and Emma's grandad Tom died last year. This is a dedication to them. "
