Any one heard of a Mathews Co. Lawn Genie?

[Nopper]

There is a Mathews Company LG72 Lawn Genie for sale in my area. It is a flail mower with a large catcher on the back. I'm looking to buy a flail mower, and it seems like a good deal.
Does anyone know if parts are still available for these mowers. Is the catcher removable? Is my JD3720 enough tractor for this mower?
Thanks in advance for any help.

They look fairly commercial to me, i.e. BIG TRACTORS...

My brother lives in the town that the mower was listed in. He just went and picked up the mower for me. It came with a box of extra knives and the manual. He says that it looks like new. I found a old article about it, but it didn't say much. ip730910.html - new product news . I will post more pics of the actual mower when I get to his house this weekend. Hopefully someone will be able to tell me some more then. I was hoping that someone here had one, and could help with some pointers. I figured that for $500 I couldn't go wrong.

I just purchased a home that came with a Lawn Genie Pickup Mower 72" (as well as a 1957 vintage JD420 and a JD finish mower). Can anyone clarify what this Lawn Genie Pickup Mower is used for? Is it only for leaves or could I verticut/dethatch my compacted clay soil? Anyone have a manual or further information for this unit?

I bought one a few years ago for $200. Parts at that time were still available. I use mine for leaves as it's a bit much for my 4410. It'll handle it but I wouldn't want to do it for every lawn mowing.
