FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: transport means has a platform with a draft bar. The platform has a lateral bar and at least one load-carrying bar. Longitudinal fingers are mounted on the load-carrying bar in pairs, and each finger is secured on the bar by means of a vertical pillar. The pillars are curvilinear in their lower part, and a pair of adjoining pillars together with the fingers form a gutter for placement of a roll.
