A device is provided for supporting the frame above a ground surface for movement therealong and includes a mechanism for moving the apparatus over the ground surface. A device is provided to permit an operator within the space to control movement of the apparatus along a ground surface. Finally, a seat assembly supports and selectively moves an operator between a fully seated position and a substantially upright position within the apparatus to permit the operator to control and move the apparatus over the ground surface from both the fully seated position as well as the substantially upright position.
