A windrower, comprising:
- a cab;
- a seat disposed within the cab and comprising a seat suspension system;
- at least one suspension control component configured to control suspension and leveling for the cab;
- at least one dampening component;
- a chassis with wheels coupled thereto, the cab mounted on the chassis with movement of the cab dampened according to the at least one dampening component;
- at least one sensor;
- and
- one or more controllers configured to:
- receive a first input from the at least one sensor;
- receive a second input from the seat suspension system;
- and
- provide a control signal to the dampening component based on the received first and second inputs, the control signal causing an adjustment to the dampening movement of the cab according to the at least one dampening component.
