We make country count by working with the Land — and those who know it best
At Alpha Ag & Earthmoving, we back Queensland graziers and rural operators with heavy-duty solutions that work — from blade ploughing and dam building to heavy diesel repairs, bulk earthworks, and reliable dry hire.
Based in Alpha, QLD, we’re built on trust, not talk. Our team combines practical experience with a strong work ethic to support productive land, strong operations, and real results.
Rick grew up on a mixed farming property in inland NSW, learning to plough as a kid and fixing machinery out of necessity — skills that built the foundation of our business. His passion lies in cultivation and helping local producers get more from their land through practical, efficient methods that respect the country and the knowledge behind it.
Formerly known as Mearns Spares Pty Ltd, Claudia and Rick began their partnership with Don Mearns after working alongside him for 15 years. In 2023, we were fortunate enough to buy Don out of the business and continue independently — settling in Alpha and relaunching as Alpha Ag & Earthmoving. While we now operate solo, we still work closely with Don when needed
