The one I listed from Northern Tool can be tuned down to 21lbs/acre but you need to go 7.5 mph and I'm thinking that is pretty fast unless you have long straight lines. I'm not saying you can't use it but in my application I don't think it was a good choice.

That's really low. What are you spreading that is less than 21lbs/acre? Most fertilizers go on at thousands of pounds per acre, (lime is spread in tons to the acre) and seed is up around 200lbs/acre for new seed. Even inter-seeding I wouldn't go less than about 40-50lbs/acre. So..... what are you spreading?
