In order to enhance an operator's ability to control a work machine, an
operator control station includes a seat assembly that is moveably
mounted to a body of the work machine. The operator can control, at least
in part, primary operator controllable aspects of the work machine by
manipulating work machine operating controls attached to move with the
seat assembly. The operator can monitor a work machine operating
condition, at least in part, via a work machine operating condition
display panel also attached to move with the seat assembly. In addition,
the operator control station is interchangeable among a plurality of work
machines of different types and sizes.
