1. A self-propelled road milling machine, comprising:
a machine frame having a longitudinal axis extending between a front and a rear of the machine frame, the machine frame including left and right edges;
a plurality of ground engaging units for supporting the machine frame from a ground surface;
a milling drum supported from the machine frame;
an operator's station; and
a support linkage including at least one pivot link extending between the machine frame and the operator's station, the at least one pivot link being oriented to pivot relative to the machine frame about a pivot axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine frame, the support linkage being configured to move the operator's station laterally in a lateral direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the machine frame between an inner position and an outer position relative to the machine frame, the outer position extending laterally partially beyond one of the left and right edges of the machine frame and the outer position being at a higher elevation than the inner position relative to the machine frame, the at least one pivot link being located below the operator's station and arranged to pivot from a less vertical orientation to a more vertical orientation as the operator's station is moved from the inner position to the outer position.
