He is into tractors, weirdly ... initially easy to arrange (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchestrate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'arrange' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'he is into tractors weirdly initially easy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'he' could be 'ches' and 'ches' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orchestrate that I've seen before include "Organise (a complex enterprise)" , "Compose" , "Organise (music)" , "Arrange for a full band" , "Arrange scores" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
