From your picture it is not clear where the right of way ends and your hay field starts. Odds are the third, fourth or fifth party maintenance crews hired by the power company cannot tell either. My best guess would be that the right of way extends from treeline to treeline, or no more than the height of the towers on each side of the power line.
My understanding is that anything built or planted in a right of way is subject to damage or removal. Have the maintenance crews knocked down more acres than the total size of the right of way or do they knock down less total acres than the size of the right of way but some damage is inside the right of way and some is outside the right of way?
I doubt that it would be cost effective to fence off the right of way and harvest the right of way as a separate field, especially if you have to pay to have the right of way re-surveyed.
IMHO, I would leave the gate in place, but never never lock it. Also make sure it can be tied open by any maintenance crews or it will eventually be damaged or removed too.
