spectacular and very informative. this is a great option if you use a side discharge deck for part of the week, you will be using the blower that much less, saving the bearings in the blower as well as the life of the belt that pulls the blower

Think those kits are standard on most models with the ghs, so that attachments can be put on. Such as a snow blade or aerator. I looked into one and my dealer said it was already on the machine.

I have a brand new machine and no, it doesn't have one. You have to order it or find one that comes with it, dealer install or install yourself.

Off topic from this video. But do you know if you can take the blower fan out of the ghs blower to replace it without taking out the whole blower?

Can this kit be used to. Keep the 48in ghs deck on to be used as a mulching deck? So it won't bag clippings? Would that work?
