Is This Bridge Safe to Cross with my Tractor?

Any Civil Engineers here or carpenters with an understanding of lumber spans and the weight it can bear? I'm attaching some pics of a bridge across the creek on my property. It is solid and well built - the previous owner was a Civil engineer. I'm concerned if it will safely hold the weight of the tractor and attachments. The span is 12' supported with 4x4 posts with a 2x8 bolted through the 4x4 posts. the two center spans are 2x10. The two outer spans are 2x8. Everything is bolted together - no nails. I estimate the age of the bridge at 10-15 years.
