If you look at how the chains are hooked up you'll see that they're in reverse of each other. One chain wraps around the bracket clockwise, the other counter clock wise. So that creates a push/pull affect.
I've used both and both have pros and cons.
The EQ is messy and noisy.
The BO is quiet but unhitching can be a wild event.
I used an EQ for 2.5 years and at the end hated it. Got tired of the grease and the mess.
The Blue Ox is clean and quiet and although I didn't tow the same TT with both WDH's I find the BO to be very competent with my current TT (31'-9500#)
Having the proper tow vehicle is as important as proper WDH setup.
