I think it is the suspension adjustment for differences in operators weight. I had to increase mine so it didn't bottom out when I sat on it.
Extra knob on seat?

Mine has a knob down there, too, but it's for adjusting the speed of the 3PH movement.

That's what it does on mine also. Stiffens the seat suspension.

It is amazing how many guys post to threads without reading the first part of the thread.
The question was answered early on, the three pointed knob is a seat height adjustment.

You guys got that all wrong, that's the knob that sends the distress signal to the auto bots and your tractor will transform and blast at things for no reason, be careful with that one.

It is the manual sphincter pucker control knob for when you get into scary situations. Mine is automatic and doesn't have the knob.

Nah, it's more to do with adjusting the seats BCVC* air flow.

Yup. Unbelievable.
That knob sets the maximum "up" travel of the seat's suspension. I set mine to use all of the suspension, which is maximum "up". As I already said, you have to load the seat to make it easier to turn the knob.
Three of us knew what we were talking about.
Hope this helps someone...
Sheesh.
