Prolly a 48" tiller for the hp that you have. But others may a better idea what their 755's handle. I run a 60" on my 32 hp 4300 no problem.
As to single bottom plow, when you ask about "any" single bottom, that is too broad and loose to make a comment. A 3 ph one bottom should fit as you have Cat I hitch. Some adjustments may be necessary, and tires and weight distribution will be a factor for success. What type of ground you plan to plow will also enter in the equation.
But I don't think you can just buy "any" single bottom plow and expect it to work on the 755.

I've been looking for a decent used tiller and see a LOT of 48". In theory I'd need wider than that to cover tracks on my 4310 though. Is there a way to offset a tiller somehow to get behind a tire?

Most well built tillers either have an adjustable offset or has been built so the mounting brackets are offset so you can position the tiller behind one tire. I think narrower tillers (48") generally have the brackets offset from the manufacturer. I had a JD 55" tiller that was adjustable.

I would recommend a 48" tiller for your tractor, something like a Deere 647 or King Kutter II comes to mind. Either of these will allow you to till about seven inches deep. You might pull a single small plow but am a little leary of the results you could expect, think a good tiller is the way to go.

I agree with Steve on the tiller. I have a JD 647 and it works great with my 2520. Not sure how well a plow would work with a smaller tractor.

I have a John Deere 450 tiller (48") that I first bought when I had a 455 and kept when I upgraded to the 2210.
After buying my 4310 I thought I'd get by with it only covering one track until I could find a decent used 60". To my suprise, it works really well behind the 4310. It covers both tracks, barely, but it does! Sure I could handle a bigger tiller, but the 450 hasn't been the problem I thought it would be.
Kind of disappointing actually. A local dealer has a hardly used Land Pride reverse rotation 60" that I wouldn't mind having, It's just hard to justify seeing as the 450 does so well.
As for the 755, I'd stay with a 48". Better to have a smaller tiller that you have the power for than a bigger one that struggles. Being able to keep the tine speed up while digging deep will do a better job on the soil.

We have a 60" Kubota tiller that Dad used behind his 755 and he said that it worked great. Had to go slow, but it worked great.
