Looking for ideas on how to turn my Spyder into a Snow Blower

[Wildrice]

An enclosed cab on the Snowblower would be nice also. 3 degree temp doesn't bother a tough guy like me--I just wanna look cool:shocked:
PS: There seems to be a difference between looking cool & freezing my a*s off :-(

If you could figure how to make a functioning auger(s) in the radiator scoops I believe you would be on to something. They make great shop vacs when going down the road!! Mad Mac:doorag:

Every time I see that picture I am wondering how that rig works in some "real" snow (8+ inches)? I am thinking the rear wheel would spin and forward progress would be impeded. I could not drive my 08 in three inches of snow and that had no heavy plow on the front. :dontknow::dontknow:

I have a pretty nice Troy Bilt snowblower, but have not had to use it yet this year. Fingers crossed. :yes:

Don't know if that's real or photoshopped. A real spyder would simply stop when Nanny detects any tire slippage, wouldn't it? Especially if it's running stock Kendas. I don't see room for chains between the tire and fender on our stock 08.

I agree, I think it is photo shopped. No, the nanny does not stop tire slippage on my 2016 F3T, but it will not go forward. I just took my bike out in about 5" of snow, and took some pictures. It took me about 30 minutes to dig a path to get it back in the garage. The 2 front tires, pushing through the snow will stop the progress of the one rear tire trying to push things forward.157118157119157120

What about studded tires? :roflblack:

[ARtraveler]

What about studded tires? :roflblack:

They don't work as good as you would think with power only to the back wheel. Dealer tried them in 08 and after one winter drive--parked the :spyder2:

[Grandpot]

Take a 2013 RT without the "heat recall" installed and drive it around. I should just melt the snow in the surrounding neighborhood. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflb lack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

This can supply the push ... you supply the blower...:lecturef_smilie::roflblack:

Thank God I don't need one of those! But, it is pretty cool!

[Lew L]

Well they do make cabs for snowblowers ( Amazon and Home Depot).... I modified both my snowblowers and they work MUCH better now throwing snow further and not clogging in moist snow. My neighbor had a little Honda 4 wheeler with plow but it had limits. A different neighbor has a snow blower attachment for his 4 wheeler.

The last I knew, SETH O drives his Spyder all winter in Brainerd, MN. He uses studded rear tire.

And there was a video showing him racing down those icy roads--Seth style. Not me. :roflblack::roflblack:

By "Seth style": do you mean WFO with his hair on fire? :bowdown:

I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisc--30 mi from Green Bay. I remember one heavy snow year when they had a monster snow blower attached to the front of the big gravel truck. The blown snow was so high they had to warn the people not to let the kids touch the power lines--approx 25" up..

[ARtraveler]

They have some huge snowblowers mounted on the 60,000# trucks here also. :thumbup:

I thought they could train the big moose to do the job in Alaska:yes::bowdown:.

Yup! They're pretty good at getting the snow out of their way... :yikes:

The pack of three goes through my yard on a regular basis. But they stop to munch and trim the trees. We did encounter a bull when we were cross country skiing back a few years ago. We gave it plenty of room and ended up ducking behind a tree for protection. Just in case. He left on his own. :yes:

You hold the moose--I'll slide the plow over its antlers --then give me 20 minutes run time on a 100 hp snow mobile before you turn the moose loose--I sold my old ski doo. The bull moose are meaner than the bears..
