Never heard of leading with rear engine to make sure it was running.
That procedure was to get you moving so the front prop wouldn't pick
up rocks and throw into rear prop. We used to carry a little *******
file (6 inches) and on pre flight if found a nick in prop leading edge
we ran file along edge to take nick out.

But it happened several times. The fix was to issue a POH
change to require all take-offs lead with the rear throttle.
