Then you will have about 75 # of seed.
If me, I'd pick a setting, plug all but a few drops and then make a dry run on dry paving (where you can sweep up the dropped seed). See what the drop pattern is and decide if it is the planting rate that you want. That is if you can get the seed to drop without causing damage to the drill, or a way to engage the drop function without touching the pavement. Used to do something similar with corn planters and the drill for oats.
