Who's got the right of way in such a situation?

Since the "vehicle" was of the non-airport employee type and merely cutting
the grass etc... he would qualify under the "people, vehicles or structures"
part of the regs where a pilot in command is not allowed to fly lower than
500 feet above. At a controlled field he would have been the responsibility
of the ATC Ground Controller and would have been made to yield; if not he
would be at fault. Knowing how the FAA is, he would have been fussed at and
you would have been violated, even though he should have been aware of
aircraft, but you definitely were aware of him.  One of those nasty catch
22's that you can't win IF anything goes wrong. Good choice to go around! :)
