Rotor or Rotater Power

Hi, I am hoping one of you folks will know much more about this subject than I. How do you know if your antenna rotor (or Rotater, as some call it), has the power to turn your antenna? I got a brand new antenna to replace my beat up, bent one and the rotor promptly went kaput. It was suggested to me that the new antenna might simply have been too big. I myself suspect that it might have had something to do with the ancientness of the rotor. But my new antenna is substansially longer than my old one so I guess it is possible.
The new antenna is a Winegard HD7698P and its specs are 15.8ft. by 13in. and 13.6 pounds. So do any of you know what kind of Rotor would work for an antenna of this size? If any of you have an answer on the subject I would very much appreciate it. The inability to move the antenna has taken away nearly half my channels! Thank you.
