By the time the sled is off the pole the pulley of the snowmobile is fully engaged and able to adjust to load conditions as needed without strain on the belt or engine. Low friction travel on the trails is now possible and even relatively steep trails can be climbed if speed is maintained. The best speed for good control and traction is about a fast as a rapid walk. Near your house is a good place to stack your wood to dry and later move into your house as needed. The snowmobile has a clear passage between the rows of wood.
Wood is stacked on either side of the snowmobile.
The careful spacing of rows allows easy access with the snowmobile. As wood is used up, the snowmobile can reload any empty spaces by driving right up to the empty spaces. Rows are parallel and can be as long as the terrain permits. All trails converge after leaving the rows and follow a loop back to the forest. This arrangement is very similar to a railroad yard, and allows for easy access to all parts of the wood storage area without blocking any access to stored wood.
