An improved seating and instrumentation arrangement for an off-road vehicle such as a tractor, combine or excavator is disclosed herein. The arrangement includes a seat having an armrest attached thereto. Attached to the armrest is a electronic display for displaying information to the vehicle operator. The armrest also includes controls elements (e.g. throttle control, gear selector, height adjustments, slip control, hydraulic controls, power take-off control, etc.) which the operator manipulates to control vehicle and implement operation. The seat is moveable upon the vehicle to conform to a particular operator's positioning preferences, to respond to shock and vibrations and to permit the operator to rotate the seat to view vehicle components or operations which are substantially out of the line of sight of the operator when facing forward relative to the vehicle. This arrangement permits the operator to maintain visual contact with the electronic display and access to the control elements when the seat moves or is rotated from its normal (forward) operating position.
