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.
