For the cost of a used tire machine (less than 500) I dont see any reason to do that the hard way.
As said, use plenty of lube, especially on mounting, and be very mindful of keeping the tire bead in the drop zone when running the second bead into the rim.
If you dont, there is a really great chance of ripping the bead.
