My grandsons are crazy about tractors! I asked them what colours they would like their tractors to be; the eldest chose blue and the youngest chose red. You could knit one in any colour you like, of course. John Deere green, with yellow on the wheels and a yellow stripe embroidered with duplicate stitch would look great! You could also sew googly eyes on instead of headlights. If the recipient is young, you might prefer to crochet, knit or embroider headlights instead of using buttons
