Abstract

A system 100 and a method 300 for processing soil. The system comprises a soil processing device 110, arranged to be moved on a soil surface; and a driving device 60, e.g. a vehicle, arranged to move the soil processing device 110 on a portion of the soil surface 170. The soil processing device 110 includes a frame 112, arranged to slide or roll on the portion of the soil surface 170 during operation of the system 0; and at least one substantially horizontal pipe 114, attached to the frame 112, extending along an underside of the frame 112, at a predetermined depth. The pipe 14 has a plurality of apertures 116 along its length, and is connectable to a vacuum generating device that provides an underpressure in the pipe. The system further comprises a protective cover 150 attached to an upper side of the frame 112, the portion of the soil surface 170 and the cover 120 defining a compartment. A conduit for a heated gaseous medium is connectable to a device 162 which provides a heated gaseous medium to an inside of the compartment. The system further comprises a first temperature sensor 220 arranged to measure a first temperature in 1 soil below the soil processing device 110, and a control device 210, configured to adjust a speed of the vehicle 160 in dependency of a signal provided by the first temperature sensor.
