Abstract
A seating apparatus includes a torso rest and a semi-seat support or partial support for the seat of the operator of a work vehicle. The torso rest provides support for the torso when the operator leans against the torso rest in a semi standing position and is contoured to act as a backrest in a first operator position and as a front rest in a operator second position. The semi-seat support acts as a partial seat support only in the first operator position. The seating apparatus may also include an additional stowable seat support, armrests, a height adjustment assist mechanism and/or a control console.
