Har! About right. It all depends on condition. The average everyday MC/40/420 that is still on it's original, unrebuilt engine with the tracks and undercarriage it came with from the factory (eg- it was worn out way past 100% 40 years ago) is a $12-1500 tractor. The non-running, missing parts, haven't moved in 40 years jobs are still worth $500 if you part it out and the ones with newish tracks and undercarriage, great engines, radiators, trannys, etc with nice paint and maybe some options like a winch or 3pt go as high as the market will allow.
As far as landscaping, an MC is NOT a bulldozer. Not in the sense that a JD350/JD450/D3/D4 is. It's got a straight blade and a real short "wheelbase" so every little dip and hump is transferred to the blade. Yeah, you can very roughly grade loose dirt (sorta), backfill, push a little rock, etc. You aren't going to do any real heavy duty landscaping like you'd do with a real construction crawler. Best advice I was given to think of it as an overgrown Jeep CJ with a plow on it. They were really far more of an agricultural pulling machine than a machine ever intended for earth moving. I love 'em, but you need to get up into the 4 and 5 roll 420's before you start to see anything similar to an earth mover, and even then you are very limited. Get into the 1010/2010 or the later 350's and 450's and then you have an earth mover.
