The entire pruner must cost under $500 in all. By keeping the drive train total material and tool list under $70, the requirement is more attainable which can be seen in the parts list included in Appendix F in the engineering report. However, labor of this project is not included which would increase the price of the drive train substantially considering the self-reversing ball screw is made from scratch in house. Many of the tools needed are resources that the CWU machine shop already attains making the supplies needed far less expensive. H.F. Hauff Company has taken responsibility for the funding of the project donating nearly all materials and supplies needed. No budget is set but cheapest solutions are required as well as simplistic and logical approaches.

            Testing materials are also attained in the CWU facilities. No further funding is needed in order to test the project in comparison to its requirements. Once again, labor is not incorporated in the cost calculation.

            Labor hours are suspected to total around 20 hours for one contraption.
