We study the excitation dynamics of a single molecular nanomagnet by static and pulsed magnetic fields. Based on a stability analysis of the classical magnetization dynamics we identify analytically the fields parameters for which the energy is stochastically pumped into the system in which case the magnetization undergoes diffusively and irreversibly a large angle deflection. An approximate analytical expression for the diffusion constant in terms of the fields parameters is given and assessed by full numerical calculations.
