The BH25 that I use from my friend runs on STRAIGHT gas, it is 4cycle. Do NOT put a fuel mix into it!! It has separate oil system.
Follow-up information. I bought a Dolmar handheld blower, its an exact replica of the BH25 from John Deere which is no longer sold. I walked a mt bike trail last night for 2 hours on one tank of fuel mostly idling, just to clear off the light stuff with an occaisonal dense blow-off. Again, its STRAIGHT gasoline, theres a GAS PUMP symbol on the cap. If its mix, there will be a pump AND an oil drop symbol.
I called the John Deere dealer about this and the BH 25 LE is set up like an outboard 2 cycle. You do not add oil to the gas tank. There is a separate oil storage that you put the oil into. Gas goes into the gas tank and 2 cycle oil goes into the oil reservoir. I can't believe they want $20 for an owners manuel and another $10 for shipping.

This is a 4 cycle engine. Do NOT mix with oil.
Straight Gasoline.

you can run 32:1 if you want to it wont hurt it but it may foul a plug since its more oil, 50:1 is the best ratio for your blower
SOURCE: what is the mix ratio for the troybilt 25cc blower?
Troy-Bilt products now are usually produced by Mtd, the ratio being 40:1.
However since John Deere made yours I'm 99.9% sure it should by 32:1.
In any case any power equipment you own (including Dolmar or Stihl) that takes an oill/gas mix benefits in the long run from using the richer 32:1 ratio. It protects the piston and cylinder much better, giving your equipment longer life. Do not use the "one mix for all" that you find at retail stores as it has been my experience it really isn't "one mix for all". Seen a lot of scratched pistons and broken rings from people using that.

you have to order the Manuel from john deer or a john deer dealer

Unless you know better, I would use 40:1. That will give you more oil than needed if it is 50:1 but wont hurt the engine. Do some more checking to get the actual ratio...Lee

Hi,
Fuel/oil mix ratio should be 32to1 or 32 ounces gasoline to 1 ounce oil.
Thanks!!
