FIELD: agriculture. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural machine building and may be used in machines to harvest and transport crops. A drum collector comprises a transverse frame with fixed brackets and spring fingers installed on the shaft for gripping and transporting stems. There are chutes and limiters fixed on brackets to partially cover a gap between chutes. Spring fingers on the shaft during its rotation move in gaps between chutes. Limiters are installed in turns on brackets under adjacent chutes with a displacement relative to each other in direction of finger rotation. ^ EFFECT: limiter that is furthest along the finger movement closes a gap between chutes for a distance that does not exceed half of difference between a chute-to-chute gap and a finger rod diametre, which increases reliability of a technological process of transporting stems along chutes. ^ 2 dwg
