SUBSTANCE: harvesting and transportation tool has frame 1, tool mounting brackets 2,3,4, hydraulic drive, carrier wheels 28, picking up and side teeth 16,18. Picking up and side teeth are made in the form of curved parabolic branches and positioned on carrier beam 13 and on closed cross oval-shaped contour 17, whose lower branch is offset from front ends of picking up teeth 16 toward carrier beam 13. Side teeth 18, upper and lower branches of picking up teeth 16 are fixed in equally spaced relation from surface of carrier beam 13 and oval-shaped contour 17 by spacer brackets. Gridlike vessel defined between upper branches of picking up teeth 16, upper branch of oval-shaped contour 17, carrier beam 13, side teeth 18 and portions of lower branches of picking up teeth 16 positioned between carrier beam 13 and lower branch of oval-shaped contour 17, is embraced with cellular construction 31. Perimeter of cellular construction is connected by closed contour of cable 30 positioned on ends and in junction points of teeth 16, 18. EFFECT: increased efficiency and reduced loss of licorice roots. 5 cl, 7 dwg
