Most new full size tractors now are coming with an LCD dash -- new Deeres and Kubotas have this. Not surprised to see it on a mower.
To be honest, a waterproof LCD is far more weather, moisture, dust, and vibration resistant than an analog gauge can ever be -- I can tell you that from experience in the marine world. An LCD has no moving parts and can be potted and sealed up tight. Analog gauges have moving parts and can't be sealed up the same way, not even close. So if it's longevity/durability you're after, the LCD is far far better on something like a tractor.
Do not let something trivial like this be the reason you downgrade to an S240 -- to me that would be a massive mistake.
Exactly - nothing to worry about. Just enjoy a new machine!
