I am thoroughly unqualified to comment on either, specific tractor with regards to performance or reliability, but perhaps my comments may stir up a conversation.

Two things immediately come to mind - Tier IV and backhoe reach. Working rip rap, I'd want the tractor on terra firma while having enough reach to get the job done. Assuming the 2025 has less reach than the Boomer, that would make it a difficult decision for me since I would prefer the non Tier IV engine.

Laws vary and I don't mean to insinuate that you are unaware of those that would apply to you, but up here, working the water front can carry some stiff penalties. A local excavator told me that if he so much as dips his bucket into the water, it could be up to a $50K fine.
