Oh.....spell out who's responsible for maintaining the access road,
including snow plowing. If the landlord is responsible then include a
remedy (a free month etc) if they fail to plow it within a reasonable
time frame. Maybe you have a snowcat and nobody is required to plow, if
so then spell that out too.
In one of those "driving on the hay" situations, the access road was a
tractor path and the ruts were too deep for anything that wasn't a
tractor. It was easier to just drive a truck across the field. The
landlord invited us to fill in the ruts ourselves. I thought that
wasn't reasonable, but nobody spelled out that the road had to be
maintained to any specific standard so shame on us.

24/7 access without notice
(some landowners want a phone call when you go up, sounds
reasonable at first, but it becomes a nuisance)
Define the path/ROW for vehicle access and put it in writing in the
lease, and physically mark it if it's not obvious. Use orange
fiberglass reflective stakes or similar.
(two different landowners have complained about techs driving
across their hay. In both cases there was an agreed upon path that
could be driven on, but it's not marked and not obvious to a new
technician.)
The lease is for the land, not what's on it. One landowner insisted
on more rent when more things went on the tower. This didn't make
sense to anyone except him, but apparently it needed to be spelled out.
I can think of a few other disputes, but they had nothing to do with
what was in the lease but rather the fact that the landlord was a
crazy person.
