lbs per square ft settings on a drop spreader?

I plan on buying a Scotts drop spreader. Does anyone know how to convert the number on Scotts drop spreader to lbs per sq ft? So if I have to drop 2 lbs per 1000 square feet, what setting on the drop spreader is used? Or is there different spreader that is recommended that will give you lbs per sq ft settings?

No spreader will give you lbs per 1000 sq ft. Every fertilizer brand makes different size pellets that flow through at different rates. The major manufactures will have a conversion chart on their bags - eg use setting #7 on a scott's drop spreader.
