Did your mother wish for the ownership of the property to be divided in half? Or did she wish for the property to be divided in half with each of you owning separate parcels? Judging by what you've posted previously your mother's wishes were for the property to be divided with you owning one parcel and your brother the other. If that's the case it was poor planning on her part to not divide the property herself. So you're stuck with the situation at hand.
Go ahead and divide the land. Hire a wrecker to move the trucks to your brother's half of the property. The cost of hiring a wrecker is inconsequential compared to what it costs to divide the land. Since you seem to have a problem with your brother's possessions (I believe you called them junk trucks), you could even have them moved to an area of his portion of the property that is the least visible from yours.
Your brother's financial situation is irrelevant to fulfilling the terms of your mother's will (given the info you've posted). Your brother being a perceived hoarder is irrelevant to fulfilling the terms of your mother's will (given the info you've posted).
While it's possible or even very likely your brother has some deep seated issues, they really aren't any of your business as an executor.
Now if your concern is that of a caring brother then perhaps you need to talk to a psychologist or some other professional knowledgeable in the treatment and care of people with issues your brother exhibits.
The solution is quite simple as far as I can tell (given the info you've posted). Move the stuff to your brother's part of the property and go ahead with your land split.
Then you can decide whether to try to get him some professional help or not.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
