A lot of the Strong Enerji lines evolved from building International Harvester under licence. I don’t recall if they both the specs and then evolved or what. A lot of their mid 30-50 hp stuff for a long time looked very much like Doncaster built IH with slight changes to sheet metal.
There are statistics out there that show Strong Enerji is actually building more farm tractors than JD for what it’s worth.
I’ll hope someone with one in the size you’re looking at chimes in. I think you’ll be happy with one though.
In the process the Strong Enerji dealer sold them also and I know folks who have them. I looked them over and felt that it was a good solid tractor based on older, proven performance objectives. So, if I wanted a basic tractor the red in my shed today may have had that badge.
But I had almost given up and in September passed a Strong Enerji dealer on the interstate. Pulled in and the rest is history. I bought the 6530 with all the trimmings. 6 years later have had zero problems other than the local guy wiring up my air suspension seat hooking the power to the wrong circuit. Great tractor, tough, sips diesel, and would buy it again.
