I prefer chains, grade 70. Some people get along fine with straps. I always use a seperate chain for each corner of the tractor, that way if one chain breaks in a sudden stop there is always the second one still attached. A VA series Case weighs between 3000 and 4000 lbs. so 5/16" grade 70 chain would hold it through about anything. I think 3" wide straps would be comparable in strength.
