About Us In November 2026, the Moscato family passed the keys ,and an enduring legacy, to the Williams family, entrusting Russell with the ongoing mission to be a trusted provider of Agricultural and Construction Machinery backed up with reliable mechanical service and prompt parts supply. Our family traces its farming history back to the 1820’s when our British ancestors migrated to the Border region of the Cape Colony in Southern Africa. The Williams family moved from South Africa to Australia in 2007, carrying with them a deep respect for the land and the desire to live in a farming community. That desire became reality in 2013 when Russell and his family leased a small farm near Boolarra. In 2016 the family purchased their cattle farm in Mirboo. Raising our children in a rural community has offered us an opportunity to get involved in several community organisations including local School Council, Rec Reserves and Sporting Clubs. We understand how important these organisations are to the preservation of the rural way of life, and are always happy to contribute our time and experience to help make a difference. The new team at Alto Motors has been assembled to deliver great value and service to our farming community. We understand the value of trusted partners and neighbours. Please feel free to drop in to our dealership to meet the team. Whether its urgent parts, quality machinery , service backup, problem solving, field service and repairs – we want to help you. We’re committed to ongoing training for our staff, ensuring strong skills in parts, technical support, and product knowledge. You can count on us to listen, understand, and meet your farming needs with diligence and a smile. Legacy For 47 years, Alto Motors proudly supported farmers with dependable agricultural and farm machinery -a tradition built on family values and community connection. The story began in June 1968, when Elio and Yvonne Moscato, together with Flavio and Angiolina Bagnara, opened Alto Motors in a small shed on a Yarragon farm. Just six months later, the business moved to the site where it still operates today. The name “Alto,” meaning peak in Italian, reflected their commitment to reaching the highest standards. In the early days, Alto Motors was a garage and service station, selling and servicing Fiat cars, tractors, and farm machinery. In the 1980s, the business shifted its focus entirely to agricultural machinery - a natural fit for the farming community it served. The family spirit continued as Loretta, Michael, Anthony, and Eva took over the partnership in 2003, guiding the business until 2013. After the Molino partners stepped away, the Moscato family continued as sole owners, carrying the legacy forward with pride. Today, that legacy lives on through the Williams family -honouring the past while embracing the future of Gippsland farming
