Maintaining right-of-way for roads, highways, power lines, communication lines, and other utilities has its own share of challenges. The demands of the job, the difficulty of the terrain, finish, and maintenance requirements will determine the equipment selected for the job.

In right-of-way work, maintaining safe traffic flow is a consideration not often found in other types of land clearing jobs.

Roadside vegetation management can become a priority where line of site is inhibited by vegetation, dead vegetation, or trees posing a risk to travelers. Excavator mulching attachments work well in roadside vegetation management and can be coupled to most excavators in the 5-45 metric ton range and, if equipped with rubber tracks, can easily travel over paved roads.
