I had a drain installed in my back yard about 10 years ago. It is clogged with silt. I have tried to run a hose in it but there is not enough pressure to run out the silt.
What is the best way to slear it out?
I am hopping there is a better way that renting a snake.

I like BT's snake; see what you can do there, maybe with the water from behind and snake below... just be ready to move...
This also assumes that the loading hasn't collapsed the pipe (someone drives on it or they use the wrong, cheaper pipe and it collapses in back filling) Seen it a bunch of times before...
