Question:

Could a winch be mounted with this if the winch is mounted on the right type of receiver mount? Question would be...if it could sustain the pull wt.

I do have a solution for you but when I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster they did not recommend using the Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-6 with a winch.

Instead what I recommend using is a Gen-Y Hitch. We have part # 325-GH-313 which has a 5" rise/drop and part # 325-GH-314 which has a 7-1/2" rise/drop which you can use. These are much more heavy-duty than the adapters used for flat towing so you can definitely use it with your winch on a mounting bracket like part # BDW20011 which has the standard 10" x 4.5" bolt pattern.

I have attached review videos of both Gen-Y hitches as well as the Bulldog winch mount that you can check out.
