Just calibrate it dont junk it. But why are you using a drop unit for
that much land,

"that much"?? 50x100 is a *small* lot.


For a drop spreader its alot, a rotary scotts will only need 25% the
walking and be easier to get even work.


Time you take out the house, driveway and other non-lawn areas there
won't be enough space left of that lot to get a full head of steam up to
get the rotary to spin and half the product will end up either in the
street, on the neighbor's yard or the driveway.

You could effectively fertilize/seed/whatever that area w/ hand casting
by the time you got the spreader filled.
