If it's a receiver hitch, it's also handy for use with receiver mount
winches so you can use them front or rear as convenient.

Pete, do you have any example of front mounted receivers that I could
look at (on a webpage or some such)?

I have never seen one, but became convinced that it may be necessary
sometimes.

You can make one with about $25 worth of steel and a bit of welding. I
made both of mine. It needs to be sturdy enough to handle tongue load
and push up a hill, but you won't be doing more than 10 mph with a
front hitch. Not for long, anyway.
