Abstract
A skid steer loader control linkage engageable by an operator for controlling speed and direction of the vehicle. The control linkage operatively engages a roll over protection structure that is shiftable between a lowered operating position and a raised position whereat vehicle compartments are exposed for access by the operator. The engagement of the control linkage against the roll over protection structure shifts the control linkage between an operative position and an inoperative position as the roll over protection structure shifts between the raised and lowered positions.
