Chain that is not marked will be considered grade 30
3/8" grade 30 chain is rated at 1200kg or 2650lbs (DOT reg # 393.108)
Check the chain to make sure it is good shape.
A 7000lb wheeled machine needs to be tied at least in 2 spots; 1 front, 1 rear using proper size tiedowns (393.128 and 393.130)
I say use the chain you have.

As far as straps go they are legal on all wheeled equiptment except crushed cars. (393.132) Where most people get in to trouble with using straps is they do not use tear protectors at the corners.(393.104 f5)

Check out these rules here. DOT 393.

Disclamer: These are federal DOT rules. Your state may have stricter rules.
