The two-cylinder diesel engine is air-cooled, has a displacement of 1,963 cc and produces 30 hp at 2,000 rpm. With a 1,380 mm wheelbase and 920 mm width, the 3754 reaches a design top speed of 18.79 km/h.

Air-cooled two-cylinder engines were common among several makers of small tractors, as they need no coolant or radiator and are therefore less prone to maintenance-related failures. At only 920 mm wide, the 3754 belongs to the narrow-track class needed for work between tight rows of trees or vines and on small, awkwardly shaped plots.

When buying such a narrow, air-cooled small tractor, the condition of the cooling fins on the cylinder matters most, as dirt and damage there quickly lead to overheating. As parts for such small makers are only available in limited quantities, the condition of the engine and the steering gear weighs more heavily on the value than with more widespread brands. The seals of the fuel system are also worth checking closely, given how long many of these machines have stood unused, and any missing decals or badges will typically not be replaced from stock.
