As JerryG wrote, the 2015 is a bigger machine. The 2015 is a small frame CUT. The 2230 and the 2300 are both classified as SUB-CUTs, they are going to have far less ground clearance, be far lighter in weight and be smaller dimensionally in most ways. Apples-to-Oranges comparision.

The mahindra is a compact tractor.
The kubota 2230 & massey gc2300 are compact tractors.
This is apples to oranges so there's nothing to compare.

As has been written, apples and oranges.
The 2015 is heavier and lower HP. The others are lighter and higher HP. The weight is good if you plan on doing dirt work. The HP is good if you plan on pto work, like mowing.
As far a quiter, the 2015 makes it's power at 2500rpm, the kubota at 3200. The 2015 should be quiter.
The ride should be smother on the 2015 also. It has larger tires.

I'm not wanting to be sarcastic here but there's really nothing wrong with comparing apples to oranges. Yes... they are a different shape and taste different and some people want to know that.
I've seen these kinds of statements several times and it really doesn't make sense. He asked specifically for a comparision between the three. I don't know the pricing he's been given, but maybe they are all priced similarly thus he wants to compare otherwise, particularly the noise, ride, and comfort.
Really... can't we compare a Chevy truck with a Ford car if we want?

Sure, and I think that while it was stated that the comparisons are apple-to-orange comparisions, people actually did provide comparisions anyway. It was stated that the Massey & Kubota were smaller, lighter and had lower ground clearance. Later a HP comparision was made.
I think the reason that the "apples-to-oranges" statement gets thrown out is due to the fact that some folks probably don't know that they are totally different types of machines. You and I could compare your big Mahindra to my little Ventrac. Both are 4wd. Both power implements. Both have seats & steering wheels. Both will mow a lawn. Both will lift up dirt in their buckets and carry it somewhere else. So for someone who doesn't know that they are different, then they might just assume they are similar.
But my Ventrac has the engine in the rear, your Mahindra's is up front. My Ventrac has an articulated body that bends in the middle and even oscillates up and down at the same time it twists side to side, if your Mahindra did that then it would certainly shatter the bell housing and probably the engine block and bend drive shafts too.
So while my example here is EXTREME in the apples-to-oranges comparisons, it illustrates a point. IF someone does not know they are different, then we really should tell them.
