What happens here
The operator station includes tilt steering, an adjustable seat, a forward/back sliding seat, and easy access to the engine for maintenance (oil, air filter, etc.). The reviewer also points out the location of the dump bed handle and the locking differential handle, noting that the latter can snag pant legs due to its placement. While praising the handbrake location on the left, he criticizes the placement of the cigarette lighter/charging port in the center console, as he frequently hits his knee on it. He also mentions the lack of cup holders for rear passengers and the presence of a convex mirror at the back of the roof, which he finds useless.
Goal: Evaluate the ergonomics and convenience of the operator's area.
