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 :-(

RT THROWER!!

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.

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::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Try this

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!

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:
