ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a protective operator's station from which a machine operator may safely and effectively remotely control the various operations of a machine that may create flying debris. The invention includes a control panel mounted to an adjustable base, such as a tripod with extensible legs. The invention also includes one or more shields to protect the machine operator from flying debris. A substantially transparent shield is provided to protect the upper body and head of a machine operator without substantially impairing the operator's vision. A flexible lower shield or skirt may be provided to protect the lower body of the operator. In an alternative embodiment, the control panel, including one or more shields, may be secured to the body of the machine operator using a harness. The invention also relates to an improved remotely controlled stump cutter having a protective operator's station. The stump cutter may be provided with a detachable protective operator's station allowing the operator to detach the operator's station and remotely operate the stump cutter when desired or when conditions require.
