Hi Gang;
Over here the farmers are bound by law to clean up the public roads when they have come out of their fields and the tractor has dumped mud on the highway.
The mud is a potential hazzard to car drivers, so the Police will enforce the farmer to clean up. In particular iin a wet autumn & winter when they are hauling pototoes & sugar beet off the fields.They also clean their concrete yards.
This is a typical 7 feet wide brush - this one has the optional collecting hopper. Most or rear mounted with PTO or hyrdaulic drive. They can brush straight ahead or angle the unit to left or right to sweep the mud sideways. Also available are front mounted brushes to sweep the mud into loader buckets.

Yeah, in response to the state highway thing, up here in MI the state doesnt like anything done on their roads by the public in that sense, but in MI the couties handle plowing and general maintenance of everything and are paid by the state to maintain state road. Here instead of using front plows to blade mud off we use float blades, like the blade of a Cat road grader, but mounted under the dump truck. Good for floating gravel roads too.

I lived in the Salinas Valley in Cailforina for 13 years it the lettuce capitol of the world.
At first you had to dodge the big chunks of mud going to work in my little sportd car then they made the farmers cleanup after themselved. That really helped and I don't think it hurt then much they just ran a tractor behind the trucks as they pulled out onto the road.

Mud was a problem on farm market highways here last fall when rains finally hit right when corn silage was ready with lots of mud drug out on roads by silage trucks. State highway dept. had to get road graders out and snow plows on trucks to move mud. Here you would get in trouble if they caught you cleaning highway or doing anything on state right of way if they didn't ask you to do it so have to wait and let state hwy dept do it.
