Abstract
A movable control console for an agricultural tractor is disclosed wherein the console is movable independently of the operator's seat to position the operative controls at the convenience of the operator. The orientation of the console is controlled by a guide assembly supported from the tractor chassis. The guide assembly is provided with non-linear slots cooperable with guide members on the console to rotate the console clockwise as it is moved rearwardly to mimic the rotation of the operator's seat to an implement operating position. Fore-and-aft movement of the console is effected by an electric actuator controlled through a switch mounted on the console.
