Most seeder's have a coverage chart.  It sounds like you don't have a lot of
acres to cover.

Clover is small, but fairly heavy, so it flies pretty well.  It's been a
long time, but we would
seed over snow or after a over-night freeze.  If it gets down to about 25,
we could drive on the ground
for a few hours first thing in the morning.  Then the thaw would soak in the
seed.

Keep the PTO speed up, near 540, doesn't have to be perfect, but slow won't
spread very wide.  Since there won't be any relation to ground speed other
than what gear you're in, check the speed on the chart as well.  I susally
set mine a little light, then drive between the initial passes for better
coverage.
