Abstract
Engineers have been seeking strategies to improve a work machine operator's comfort and to ensure the operator's safety. The present disclosure includes an operator control station that includes a seat assembly supported, in part, on a suspension system. At least one work machine operation controller is pivotably attached to the seat assembly between an egress position and a work machine operation position. A locking mechanism is operable to fix the work machine operation controller in the work machine operation position.
